Verdict
Ninjago ended a long losing run when successful at Newmarket and is taken to confirm running with Cool Bahamian. African Friend made a winning return at Windsor but could only manage third on his handicap debut at Thirsk and steps up a furlong. ALAADEL is also unexposed and was beaten only a nose at Ffos Las on his latest start. There should be further improvement in him and any softening of the ground would strengthen his claims. Glenamoy Lad and Cappananty Con won lower grades sprints on their penultimate start and Red Tycoon finished runner-up over 7f at Epsom just 10 days ago so look best of the rest.
